Best Answer

Niobe was the queen of Thebes who bragged that she was better than Leto, the mother of Artemis and Apollo, because she had seven sons and seven daughters while Leto only had one of each. To avenge their mother's honor, Apollo killed the seven sons and Artemis killed the seven daughters. Because Niobe was so grieve stricken, the gods changed her into a rock.
